Cytek Northern Lights

The Cytek Northern Lights instrument is a 3 laser full spectrum flow cytometer. The optical design and unmixing algorithm give scientists remarkable flexibility, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations. This instrument can be easily used for up to 24 color panels. The use of full spectrum allows the use of fluorochromes in a panel that with traditional flow cannot be used together.

More information can be found on the Cytek website here

Tutorials and help can be found here

Before beginning samples for the Northern Lights, it is essential to use the spectrum viewer here to make sure your panel will work well on the instrument. Please contact core personnel with any question and prior to requesting instrument time.
